Heeey Alex,
Cool, thanks for the email and info. I'm communicating w/ US Pentel right now. It's good that UCPSB and JetPens are working together because they have a very high minimum purchase every year, and so there's no way that UCPSB could buy from them alone. In fact the process is a bit long, we have to go through a credit check and have a high minimum first purchase to do business with them (currently all our business is w/ overseas companies, so we're starting from the beginning with them.)
Regarding stickers, what size/type are you talking about? Removable deacals for other stuff? Or rectangular shaped stickers to roll on to pens? Please start thinking of a nice UCPSB logo you'd like to send me later to use. Thanks!
By the way, JetPens is interested in working with UCPSB as a US partner, just like we're a partner with Pendolsa. If UCPSB is interested, we'd like to partner up together to provide a line of UCPSB branded products exclusively from JetPens. In essence, we'd be the online store for you guys. The good thing is that you guys don't have to front any of the costs or worry about managing the logistics of a store (ie JetPens will pay for all the products and imprinting and ship out the products with all our other stuff). We're thinking of setting up a program to give UCPSB 5% of all sales you generate for our site (not just on UCPSB branded stuff) in addition to offering gifts for tournaments and contests and other giveaways to help promote UCPSB.
In exchange, we're pretty much interested in links, branding and traffic. Being an "official sponsor" for UCPSB, being recognized during collabs and contests/tournaments as a sponsor, and co-branding some JetPens and UCPSB stuff. Really our market is the larger pen/stationery market outside of pen spinning, and we feel that the people of UCPSB could really help us reach that goal and get the word out. So we can help each other out.
Anyway this is my brainstorm. Thoughts?
Talk to you later!
Lily
PS JetPens is getting T-shirts in May made. Do you think UCPSB would be interested in getting a co-branded shirt? We can get some done along with our regular ones...
This is great !!!
